“We do not know his cause of death at this time.”

Old age?

He was an old school Hollywood lib, but a great actor. R.I.P., Jimbo.

That is sooooooooooooooo weird as me and my wife watch a good western every Saturday night and we just finished watching Duel at Diablo.

Who is the tall dark stranger there, Maverick is his name

Our Sunday night favorite show in the early years. We all waited to see if it would be Bret that week, and we cheered that it was. If Jack or Roger, well sometimes we watched and sometimes we didn't.

I generally don’t chime in regarding the death of celebrities, but James Garner was one of the big ones and his passing is noted with sadness and gratitude.

R.I.P. Jimbo.

I remember seeing Jimbo on the Johnny Carson show talking about how the studio's said the "Rockford Files" made no money. He started explaining some of there "Accounting Method's," needless to say with democrat accounting method's even a very profitable show could show a lost.

[Johnny] Carson keep asking him how much would he settle for; 5 million, 10 million, stopped at 20 million, and Jimbo just said we'll see in court.

Just wondering what he got out of that lawsuit, if anybody should know?

Awww, dangit!

RIP. Loved Garner in everything he did - Maverick, Rockford Files, Great Escape, Murphy’s Romance, etc. Heck, he was even good in that silly little movie with C. Thomas Howell and Shirley Jones “Tank”.

RIP to an acting legend.

James Garner was similar to Dean Martin, in that they did great performances for their directors, made it seem easy. Both actors looked as though they were having fun most of the time while filming. I recall people on the Dean Martin Show saying he never even rehearsed with the rest of the cast. Both men were quick study’s and quite versatile in acting range. Neither seemed to take himself that seriously. Of course, the nonchalance and appearance of being indifferent could also have been an act, the way a trapeze artist must be a true expert before he can dance on the tightropes.

I will always be a big fan of Mr. Garner. Garner did a movie where he drove his car into the pool. That scene always cracks me up. The movie was The Thrill of It All (1963) with Doris Day.

Married to the same woman since 1956:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Garner
“Garner was married to Lois Clarke, whom he met at an “Adlai Stevenson for President” rally in 1956. They married 14 days later on August 17, 1956. “We went to dinner every night for 14 nights. I was just absolutely nuts about her. I spent $77 on our honeymoon, and it about broke me.””

Well, I am sad.
